Hi – thanks everyone for the comments… especially Bob B … that’s what I was looking for, and you articulated it perfectly .. thanks very much.

Here’s the thing. I’m a (fairly well known) marketer in the stock trading business, run DaytradingUniversity.com, TradingTelevision.com , ForexOnFire.com , CopywritingUniversity.com and dozens of other six-figure selling sites.

But I’m relatively new to video editing and all the rest of it. I just started using Vegas 2-3 years ago, and that was it, and I’ve focused primarily on that, and it’s been a solid tool.

I *am* looking to create more broadcast quality graphics to stay ahead of competitors, and to make my video more differentiated from youtube-type fare out there… which is where I first got interested in plugins for Vegas, and recently, in After Effects.

In working through the AE tutorials, many of them just focus on things like layered effects or pan/crop movement of text, or motion blur, all of which I can do already in Vegas easily.. so that’s where my questions came in.

I suppose I need to spend more time with it, and like you said, Bob – to gain more detailed 3d compositing control of effects, with more detail, is where it appears AE really makes a difference.

So thanks for the comments, as someone who’s entirely new to AE, I just wanted to know the differences between it and NLEs, for those of you who are experienced with both.

Regards,

p.s. Also, I’m very well connected; those of you making helpful posts, thanks.. I’m always a potential client… for those who attacked me, well there’s consequences for that, too. 😮
